That night, Ice Empress rewarded Lin Yaoyang hard.
Snow Empress didn't ask, Lin Yaoyang didn't tell, and Ice Empress wouldn't say how exactly the reward would be given.
It's just that Snow Palace's ice crystal wall is not very soundproof. Snow Empress tossed and turned in his room for most of the night, and didn't fall asleep until late at night.
The next morning.
When Lin Yaoyang came out of the room, he stood holding the door frame for a while.
His waist is a little sore.
The legs are also a bit soft.
He took a deep breath, straightened his back, tried to look normal, and then walked towards the main hall.
It took more than half a day before Ice Empress came out of the room.
Her legs were a little weak when she walked. She held on to the wall and moved to the Snow Palace hall. She took every step carefully, like a kitten that had just learned to walk.
The green twin ponytails were not raised as energetically as usual, but hung lazily behind the shoulders.
Her face looked rosy with contentment and exhaustion, and her bright yellow eyes were more moist than usual.
When he walked into the main hall, Ice Empress's face still looked dazed from sleep. When he saw Snow Empress's sky-blue eyes staring at him, he immediately woke up.
She obediently walked to sit next to Snow Empress without daring to speak.
Snow Empress was sitting on the main seat in the main hall, looking at the appearance of these two people.
She slapped the table.
"Look at you like this!"
Her beautiful eyes stared at Ice Empress.
"Bing'er, so are you. Yao Yang is ignorant, why don't you try to persuade him? What should you do if you spoil him?!"
Ice Empress lowered his head, poked his little hand, and whispered, "Xue'er, are you jealous of me and Yao Yang last night..."
"Heh."
Snow Empress sneered.
The "ha" sound was not loud, but Ice Empress's petite body trembled slightly. She knew Snow Empress very well.
Snow Empress may not be scary when she is not smiling, but 99% of the time she will be scary when she smiles.
"Ice Empress!"
Snow Empress even changed his name. It is no longer "Bing'er", but calls him by his first name.
"Do you feel like your skin is itching as your cultivation level increases rapidly?"
Ice Empress quickly waved his hand, and the ruddy face instantly turned pale, and then turned into a flattering smile.
"No, no! Xue'er, I was wrong! Don't be angry..."
She trotted up to Snow Empress. She was just the right height, stretched out her hand and started beating Snow Empress's legs.
The small fist was neither light nor heavy, hitting Snow Empress's legs time and time again, with a correct attitude like a primary school student who made a mistake.
Snow Empress snorted lightly and did not pursue further.
Lin Yaoyang also came over, stood behind Snow Empress, and stretched out his hand to squeeze her shoulders.
His technique was much more skillful than Ice Empress's. He pressed his thumb slowly along Snow Empress's shoulder blades, with the force going from light to heavy, and then from heavy to light.
There is still warmth in the hands, seeping into Snow Empress's shoulders through the fabric.
"Sister Xue'er, calm down."
"Bing'er sister is just happy that she overplayed with me."
Snow Empress crossed his arms and snorted angrily.
"You feel comfortable, of course you say so."
Lin Yaoyang paused with his hand, then smiled, leaned close to Snow Empress's ear, and kept his voice very low.
"Nothing can compare to being with Sister Xue'er."
Snow Empress's ears turned red, spreading from the earlobes to her neck.
She pursed her lips and didn't answer, but she didn't avoid it either.
Ice Empress next to him raised his head and glared at Lin Yaoyang.
Okay, okay, now I am Lady Bull Demon, right?
Lin Yaoyang returned a look.
There is nothing we can do. Let's coax Sister Xue'er first.
Ice Empress gritted his teeth, lowered his head and continued to beat his legs.
Snow Empress enjoys the service of two people.
I closed my eyes for a while to relax, then opened them.
She asked, her tone returning to her usual gentle tone.
"Yao Yang, what do you think, Sun Temple?"
Ice Empress also raised his head and looked over with curiosity.
Lin Yaoyang's hand did not stop and continued to squeeze Snow Empress's shoulders.
"Sister Xue'er, I just can't pretend I can't see you."
He told those things again.
Those civilians who were slaughtered by Evil Soul Master, those sallow-looking children, those old people who knelt on the ground and kowtowed to him.
The villagers have farmed the land for the nobles for generations, and they are so busy that they only have a handful of food left.
Evil Soul Master is here, and they can't even run away because their Martial Soul hasn't awakened yet. It's not that they don't want to awaken, but that no one is here to awaken them.
"I walked around those villages, and no one I saw could smile."
"I killed Evil Soul Master to bring light to the mainland and order to this chaotic era."
"I awaken Martial Soul for the common people to give them hope of living and a chance to turn over."
Snow Empress listened and did not respond immediately.
She doesn't care about the common people. She doesn't care about the mainland. She only cares about the young man in front of her.
She spoke slowly, "Yao Yang, do you want to be the savior? Gather faith and then become a god?"
Ice Empress looked at Lin Yaoyang in surprise.
Becoming a god? This is no small matter.
They have practiced Soul Beast for hundreds of thousands of years, but they still cannot reach the threshold of the Divine Realm.
Lin Yaoyang is only thirteen years old, but he is already planning his way to becoming a god?
Lin Yaoyang shook his head.
"Sister Xue'er, I am not a savior who descended from the sky. I may become a god by the way."
"I'm not saving anyone. I'm just... participating in the process of different people and different civilizations saving themselves."
Snow Empress's eyelashes trembled slightly.
"Those villagers waiting to die in the ruins are their own business. Evil Soul Master wants to kill them. They want to live. This is their own salvation."
"And what I did was just help them chop down those dirty things, and then tell them that there will be someone in charge of this place from now on, so you don't have to ask anyone to save you."
He stopped what he was doing, came to Snow Empress, and looked at Snow Empress.
"No one can find the savior by waiting. Sister Xue'er, I don't believe that."
Snow Empress asked, "Then what do you believe?"
Lin Yaoyang thought for a while and looked at her seriously.
"Believe in myself. Believe in the people around me. Believe in those who want to live."
"There may be many things that I cannot do along the way, and there are many irreparable losses and sacrifices. But I am still very happy to do these things."
"So even if you give me a hundred chances to choose again, I will still take this path. Not because of who told me to take it, but because I prefer to believe that it comes from my true heart."
He stretched out his hands, one to the left and the other to the right, and held the hands of Snow Empress and Ice Empress.
"Sister Xue'er, sister Bing'er, there is not only me in this world, but also you, my family."
"So I can't ignore the disaster caused by the people's cries, because I value this world."
Snow Empress and Ice Empress didn't speak. They silently held Lin Yaoyang's hand.
Somewhere in an unknown space, a group of transparent lights and shadows were trembling violently.
Douluo Plane Consciousness.
He originally just wanted to observe Lin Yaoyang.
Just observe, don't interfere.
But He heard those words.
"I'm not some savior who comes down from the sky."
"No one can find the Savior by waiting."
"Believe in myself. Believe in the people around me. Believe in those who want to live."
"I cannot ignore the disaster caused by the people's cries."
Douluo Plane Consciousness feels like his core is getting hot.
If He had a heart, it would be beating loudly.
